<B>1801<img border='0' src='http://www.heritagecoins.com/images/star.gif' width=10 height=10>$1> AU55 PCGS.</B></I> B-1, BB-211, R.3. Bowers Die State III-IV. The curved die crack reaches the M in AMERICA (unlike Die State III) but does not extend past it (unlike Die State IV). A nearly untoned example that exhibits substantial satin luster. The fields and devices are slightly dull but are remarkably void of distracting contact. The rims are free from the small nicks often encountered on this large silver type. While the <I>Guide Book</B></I> lists six 1799 varieties and five 1800 varieties, the 1801 is less diverse. Aside from the prohibitively rare novodel proof, the four Bolender varieties for the date merit only a single <I>Guide Book</B></I> listing. Nonetheless, the prominent reverse die cracks, and the bold denticle die clash through AMERICA provide B-1 with numismatic distinction from its peers.
